An Understated Dominance Chapter 1730 by Marina Vittori

“What did you say?” Grace was taken aback, thinking she had heard Dustin wrong.

“Honestly, I think you’d be great as Queen, and the King probably agrees. That is why, if you’re interested, I’ll represent the West Lucozian monarchy and back you fully,” Dustin said with a smile.

“Logan, stop joking! It’s not funny.” Grace’s tone grew serious. “I’m just a woman. I’m not qualified to sit on the throne. The monarchy would never accept me.”

“So what if you’re a woman?” Dustin asked. He continued seriously, “Who said women weren’t allowed to ascend to the throne? Queen Mary I is an example.

“Even though you’re a little younger than when she became queen, you still have space to grow. As long as you’re willing to work hard, I don’t see a problem.”

“Logan, I appreciate your trust in me, but the thought never crossed my mind. So, please abandon that idea,” Grace refused firmly.

Throughout history, there have only been a handful of queens. And even then, everything aligned perfectly for them to have that glimmer of hope.

Grace didn’t think she was comparable to those legendary queens. Most importantly, once she decided to fight for the throne, it would undoubtedly shock the world.

If that day came, it would lead to another storm of bloodshed and chaos. This was not something she was willing to witness.

“If you don’t want to, then just forget about it. I just brought it up casually. However, if you ever change your mind, just let me know anytime,” Dustin said with a faint smile.

As Valon had said, Grace was actually the most fitting candidate among the royal heirs to ascend to the throne.

Unfortunately, she was a woman, and her path to power would be fraught with difficulties. It wouldn’t be only her brothers-the entire monarchy would never accept this outcome.

Of course, it still depended on Grace. If she had the ambition, Dustin would support her wholeheartedly. If she didn’t, then she should just consider it a playful remark.

“Your thoughts are so erratic. Why bring up such a random thing?” Grace was puzzled.

“It’s nothing. I just think you’re the most suitable. Perhaps, if you become Queen, the world would change.”

Dustin chuckled.

“Don’t be silly. It’s impossible. You should focus on my three brothers.” Grace shook her head.

“There’s no need to rush. Choosing the next heir isn’t something that’s going to happen overnight. Let’s just go with the flow.”

Dustin patted his stomach and asked, ” Grace, do you have anything to eat here? I’m hungry again.”

“Wait a moment, I’ll make you something,” Grace responded.

“Really? A princess can actually cook?” Dustin was surprised.

“Is it that surprising?” Grace rolled her eyes. “I left the palace a long time ago and spent most of my time exploring the outside world. Isn’t it normal for me to know how to cook?”

“I see.” Dustin chuckled. “Seems like it’s my lucky day. I’m actually getting to try the princess’ cooking.”

“Don’t tease me!” Grace was slightly annoyed. “There are fruits in the living room. Have a snack if you’re hungry. I’ll be done in a while.” 2

With that, she left the bedroom and started busying herself in the kitchen.

Dustin rolled out of bed. Facing the sunlight streaming in through the window, he stretched lazily and felt refreshed.

Since the situation with the Dragon Guard had been settled for now, it was time to return to West Lucozia.

Summary An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Dahlia Nicholson and Dustin Rhys had been married for three years. After Dahlia’s meteoric rise to success, she abandons the useless dead weight that’s Dustin, proposing divorce. Unbeknownst to her, everything she had ever achieved was only because of him.

Chapter 1 “Dustin, here is the divorce agreement prepared by Ms. Nicholson. All you need to do is sign them.” In the president’s office of the Quine Group, the secretary, Lyra Blaine, placed a piece of A4 paper on the table. A man sat opposite her, dressed in plain clothing. “Divorce? What do you mean?” Dustin Rhys was taken aback. “Do you not understand what I’m saying? Your marriage with Ms. Nicholson is over. You’re not even on the same level anymore. Your existence is nothing but a smear on the president’s reputation!” Lyra pulled no punches as she spoke. “A smear on her reputation?” Dustin frowned. “Is that how she thinks of me?” Back when they first got married, the Nicholson family was in ruinous debt. He was the one who helped them when they were at their lowest point. Now that they were rich, Dahlia Nicholson was ready to just kick him out. “Something like that.” Lyra jerked her chin toward the magazine on the table. A photo of a beautiful woman was printed on the front page. “Look at the headline on this magazine, Dustin. Ms. Nicholson’s net worth has hit one billion in the course of just three years, a feat no short of a miracle. She’s now the most desired woman in Swinton! With all this, she’s destined for greatness. But you, you’re just a regular joe. You don’t deserve her at all. I hope that you’ll see some sense and do the right thing.” When Dustin remained silent, Lyra frowned. “I know you’re not happy with this, but this is reality,” she continued. “You might have helped Ms. Nicholson when she was in trouble, but she has repaid you for everything you’ve done for her over the last three years. In fact, you’re the one who owes her now!” “Is our marriage just a business deal to her, then?” Dustin took a deep breath to suppress the emotions within. “If she wants to divorce me, let her speak to me herself.” “Ms. Nicholson is very busy. She doesn’t need to trouble herself with such trifling matters.” “Trifling matters?” Dustin was stunned. Then he laughed bitterly. “Is that so? Is divorce a trifling matter to her? She can’t even find the time to speak to me. Truly, she’s that unattainable now!” “Dustin, don’t delay this any longer.” Lyra pushed the divorce agreement toward him again. “Just sign here and you’ll get a car and a house as compensation. On top of that, you’ll also get eight million dollars. This is more than what you’ll be able to earn in your lifetime!” “Eight million dollars is a lot, but…I don’t need it. I will sign the divorce papers if she comes personally. Otherwise, I won’t sign anything,” Duston said coldly. “Don’t go too far, Dustin!” Lyra slammed her hand on the table. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. With all her power and resources, Ms. Nicholson can divorce you easily. It’s only because she appreciates her past relationship with you that she’s allowing you to keep your dignity intact. Don’t provoke her!” “My dignity?” Dustin was a little amused by that. She didn’t even want to speak to him directly to divorce him. What kind of dignity was that? Moreover, if she really did appreciate their relationship, then why was she threatening him now?
